Empower

students with the tools to succeed and the dignity to lead.

ABOUT

We connect you to those in need.

At the Decker Foundation, we act as a bridge-  linking generous donors with students in underserved communities who need support to access education.

We work closely with trusted local schools and education programs around the world to identify students facing the greatest financial challenges. These may include tuition, books, housing, food, internet access, or even a basic computer. When these barriers are removed, education becomes possible, and lives begin to change.

Our foundation ensures that your donation directly funds scholarships that meet the specific needs of individual students. Each scholarship is tailored to help a student stay in school and succeed. We maintain close relationships with our partners to verify how every dollar is used and to share the impact with you.

You give the opportunity. We make sure it reaches the student.

100% of EVERY dollar goes directly to those in need…

thanks to legacy donors who cover operating expenses.

Legacy Donors

Legacy Donors are a vital part of the Decker Foundation’s mission. While 100% of standard donations go directly to fund scholarships, school support, and family wellness programs, Legacy Donors take it a step further.

By helping cover our essential operating costs- like website hosting, legal fees, and program administration- Legacy Donors ensure that our foundation can grow, serve responsibly, and remain transparent and accountable.

Legacy Donors:

  • Help us maintain 100% direct impact for regular donations
  • Enable the foundation to expand sustainably
  • Support the behind-the-scenes work that makes our mission possible

If you’re passionate about long-term impact and want to play a foundational role in helping families thrive, we’d love to talk with you about becoming a Legacy Donor.

Let’s build something that lasts – together.
